A 15-year-old single malt from the Springbank distillery with plenty of sherry notes and spice, dried fruits, and nuts.
Fragrant with a certain richness. Notes of fruit salad and a hint of caramel, pineapple, guava and passion fruit lurk. There are notes of dried leather and old ropes. A hint of toffee sweetness and some granary toast.
Quite full and rich. There are notes of creamy fruit salad and more exotic fruit notes. There is palpable mastication from the oaked tannins with a hint of spice.
Fairly long with a gentle warmth.

I believe many 15yo out there are underappreciated, and this is one of them. Love it the first time I tried it. Don't know much about making flowery tasting notes but I like it.
A distillery that do everything from malting to bottling onsite and it results in a whisky that is head and shoulders above any other 15 year old , beautiful stuff.
Lacking in smell and flavor right after opening, but I know that a week after opening it comes alive. I let the first glass sit for hours, then I add water and wait so least 15 mins. When you know how to handle this one you will be rewarded. This Could explain the negative comments.
After visiting the Distillery last summer we tried 12 - 15 - 18 and 26 I think but 15 was by far best.
Among the best 15 y.o. ever, and even better than many 18 y.o. whiskies. Creamy pears with a gentle sourness - that unique Springbank touch which makes me fall in love with the distillery - develops here both vibrantly and mature. Simply don't have any criticisms about the dram. Not a single one.
